Architecture of the Absurd by John Silber

John Silber, president emeritus of Boston University, discusses his new book, Architecture of the Absurd: How “Genius” Disfigured a Practical Art, at Barnes & Noble at BU. Silber criticizes what he describes as architecture that emphasizes artistic vision over practical needs and shows slides of both the best and worst of contemporary architecture. Hosted by Barnes and Noble at Boston University on December 4, 2007.
